Fetterman has been checked into the hospital for the 2nd time since he was sworn in last month .
He could've stepped out of the race after his massive stroke right before the campaign began. His wife could've encouraged him to do so . Guv Shapiro could've .The Penn Dems could've . The compliant press for the most part went along with the charade . And the Repubs chose a weak candidate .
So he became Senator .
You will recall from this and other postings here that anyone who called this out was called being an ableist . This stroke affected his physical functions .It affected his brain he could not process. language he was hearing ;could not speak properly ;could not understand things .We were told we were supposed to ignore all this .
Gisele Fetterman said to just leave him alone .Nothing to see here .He would get better .
Scientific American ran a piece in October ;in the days before the election telling us; Following a stroke, the brain’s own repair processes can lead to a strong recovery in people such as Senate candidate John Fetterman
John Fetterman Shows How Well the Brain Recovers after Stroke - Scientific American
Quote:
Aphasia, or the inability to understand or express speech, is very
common following a stroke, impacting an estimated
third of people who have one. (Fetterman’s campaign has denied he has aphasia, but some of his symptoms are consistent with the condition.) Those who have a stroke in their left brain hemisphere, which serves as the center of language processing in most people, are particularly vulnerable. For the brain to recover, it must modify and adapt to this new injury, a process known as neural plasticity.
Give him a closed caption prompter and all is right in the world . He will be fine .
Well not really .
After the SOTU address he was rushed to the hospital for unspecified reasons .

Scans showed he did not have another stroke
But now he has checked himself back into the hospital for clinical depression. It should be clear by now that he should not have been running for Senate .

While John has experienced depression off and on throughout his life, it only became severe in recent weeks, chief of staff Adam Jentleson said in a statemen
Sen. John Fetterman is being treated for clinical depression at Walter Reed : NPR
What happened in recent weeks ? Oh yeah ,he was sworn in as Senator adding to his stress level .
Quote:
“On Monday, John was evaluated by Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician of the United States Congress,” the chief of staff said. “Yesterday, Dr. Monahan recommended inpatient care at Walter Reed. John agreed, and he is receiving treatment on a voluntary basis.”
Now outpatient care means you get some medication maybe have sessions with a mental health professional .But otherwise go about your life. In patient care for clinical depression is very serious business .

Yet we are assured all will be well and he will be back to himself in no time.
Gisele says leave us alone ;give us some privacy. The best way for privacy while recovering would've been to not enter a Senate campaign.
“After what he’s been through in the past year, there’s probably no one who wanted to talk about his own health less than John,” his wife, Gisele Fetterman, said in a pair of tweets Thursday afternoon. “I’m so proud of him for asking for help and getting the care he needs.”
She asked for privacy during the “difficult time for our family"

The kids come first ? I'd say your political ambitions came first . There is only one reason why he is in the public eyes today . It is because you encouraged him to run despite recovering from a major stroke ;and because the Dems of Penn and the compliant press went along with it . It was more important for him to take the seat than to recover.
Prediction .... the subject of this posting is right on. He will step down and be replaced by Gisele .....who puts the kids first .
